. @ImranKhanPTI can you please act responsibly for once and do your job? A member of parliament has been forcibly detained in a false case. There is ZERO transparency in how the state operates with regards to rights defenders and dissidents during your tenure. #releaseAliWazir

Ammar has immense class/ethnic privilege. He was arrested from his house in DHA. There is visual evidence of arrest, family/comrades/lawyers have access. Yet he was arrested in a false case. I shudder to think how the security state treats the Baloch & Pashtuns. #ReleaseAmmarJan

Fatima's father Muhammad Osaid was disappeared from Gulberg, Lahore on Feb 26. Her brother Sauleh is 4. They had to move out of their house in Lahore because no one could pay the rent. Sauleh cannot go to school as there is no breadwinner to pay the fee. #enforceddisappearances

Where is the *genius* who thought of further weaponizing clerics from smalltime sectarian barelvi groups and ensured they register as a political party to bring down the then democratically elected govt? #whocultivatedTLP

Reported Amir Liaquat's account to @Twitter . Not that I have high hopes from its (faulty) reporting mechanism but had to try. His malicious tweets at @ImaanZHazir are not merely offensive but dangerous. This guy is a known inciter of hatred @Jack . Throw him out of here.
